Views of Place, Views of Irishness (eBook, ePUB)

«This is an outstanding contribution to the blossoming history of journalism in Ireland. Expertly researched, it draws the often-isolated coverage of the Gaeltacht into the historical mainstream, indicating very real connections to the emergence of the modern Irish state and the role of the representation of Ireland and its Irish-speaking heritage within that nexus. Its discursive approach, fusing qualitative and corpus linguistics, is excellently matched with its ambition to explore the shaping of attitudes towards the region, its language and its journalism.» (Martin Conboy, Professor of Journalism History, University of Sheffield, UK)
